Notes
This is the rubber match in Sacramento, as the Astros face the Athletics with a chance to secure their first road series win of the season. Lance McCullers Jr. takes the mound looking to match his excellent outing on March 30, while Jeremy Peña is out of the lineup, a notable absence at the top as Houston looks to finish the series strong.
